Guess who would save the most?

To replace the revenue lost by the income tax, the state sales tax rate would need to be raised to 13.5%, giving Wisconsin the highest state sales tax rate in the nation.
The tax shift endorsed by Governor Walker would mean the bottom 80% of taxpayers would be paying more in taxes some of them, a lot more. For example, a taxpayer in the lowest 20% by income would pay nearly $750 more in taxes, on average. Taxpayers in the top 1% a group with an average income of $1.1 million would receive a tax cut averaging nearly $44,000.

(347 posts)Tammy Baldwin, a very likable person, who I would trust. Who could replace her in senate?
Tom Barrett, a D, likable person but trustworthy?
Wisconsin needs some new blood (D)'s, IMHO.

(53,475 posts)... Barrett is a DINO, much like Burke, but at least honorable and personable.
Baldwin needs to stay where she is.
In my humble opinion, the first change we need is with the leadership if the State Party. Mike Tate is, at best, ineffective. His every action leads me to believe he's actually a conservative plant.
